Granted: 1903-08-13
Abstract: 27,422. Hozier Engineering Co., and Govan, A. Dec. 12. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to three-speed and reversing toothed gearing described in Specification No. 5945, A.D. 1901, and consists in means whereby the hand-lever is moved hard over against dead stops for maximum, intermediate, or minimum speeds instead of being moved into notches in a quadrant which cannot be easily seen or felt in the dark. Resilient connections between the clutch forks and the sliding clutch members are also provided, so that the hand-lever may be thrown right over whether the clutches engage at once or not. Fig. 2 shows the gear box B and the operating - mechanism in plan. A single handlever moving in the T-shaped slot or guide C, is used to effect the changes in speed. This lever is pivoted to a rock-shaft, on which is an arm E. This arm, through the levers E', F, moves a change-wheel on the shaft H to give the high or medium speed according to whether the lever occupies the end 2 or the end 3 of the slot. The lever also has a tail-piece, which, through a link I, moves a change-wheel on the shaft K to give the lowest speed when the lever is placed at the end 4 of the slot. The springs may either be between the lever arm and the clutch or wheel on which it acts in the gear box, or, as shown in Fig. 3, springs S may be arranged to transmit the movement from, say, the lever E' to the lever F through parts jointed to the former.

Title: Manufacture and Production of New Azo-dyestuffs and of Intermediate Products for Use therein
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1904-12-20
Granted: 1905-09-28
Abstract: 27,843. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Dec. 20. Amines; chloro compounds, organic; nitro compounds, organic; phenols; sulphonic acids; thioamido compounds.-New thiazole sulphonic acids are produced by treating with alkaline polysulphides the condensation product of an aromatic aldehyde, or a benzyl haloid, and an amino-sulphonic acid of naphthalene, or a derivative thereof, or the mixture which produces that condensation product. In an example, m-nitro benzaldehyde is condensed with the sodium salt of 2 : 5-amidonaphthol-7- sulphonic acid, the benzylidene compound produced being then treated with sodium sulphide and sulphur, when the thiazole nucleus is formed, sulphuretted hydrogen being evolved ; the nitro group is at the same time reduced, yielding a body of the formula In another example, m-nitrobenzyl-2:5-amidonaphthol-7-sulphonate of sodium (obtained by condensing m-nitrobenzylchloride with amidonaphthol sulphonic acid in presence of sodium acetate) is treated with sodium sulphide and sulphur, the product being identical with that obtained in the first example. This substance can be combined with diazo bodies ; or it may itself be diazotized and then combined with phenols, or amines in the usual manner. The resulting compounds dye cotton without a mordant. Similar bodies are obtained on using other aromatic aldehydes such as benzaldehyde instead of m-nitrobenzaldehyde ; or by using other amino-sulphonic acids of the naphthalene series, instead of that above mentioned. Thus, from 2 : :8-amidonaphthol- 6-sulphonic acid, or 1 : 5-amidonaphthol-7-sulphonic acid, or 1 : 8-amidonaphthol-4 : 6-disulphonic acid, and m-nitrobenzaldehyde, similar bodies are obtained ; but the 1 5-, 2 : 6-, or 2 :7-naphthylamine sulphonic acids, or the 2-naphthylamine-6-chlor- 4-sulphonic acid, will yield, on similar treatment with nitrobenzaldehyde, similarly constituted bodies, which however cannot be combined with diazo compounds, but can be diazotized and then combined with suitable components. Dyes, artificial.-Azo dyes are obtained by combining diazotized aniline, o-toluidine, xylidine, o-anisidine, or #-naphthylamine with one of the thiazole sulphonic acids above described, the dyes produced being yellowish-red, red, or bluish-red. In an example, the thiazole obtained from 2-benzylidine- or 2-benzylamido-5-naphthol-7-sulphonic acid is combined with diazotized aniline. The dye produced dyes cotton scarlet red shades, fast to acids. Some of these dyes (which contain an amido group in the benzene nucleus) may be further diazotized on the cotton, and then combined with #-naphthol, a different shade of red being produced.

Granted: 1906-02-15
Abstract: 7436. Davidson, W. N. L. April 8. Locomotive vehicles.-Self-driving electric apparatus for propelling vehicles and for other purposes comprises a motor and a dynamo driven thereby, both of which may be provided with sliding armatures for regulation, and an accumulator may be connected both to the motor and to the dynamo so as to drive the motor and at the same time be charged by the dynamo. The dynamo is brought up to speed by an external mechanism, which is subsequently cut off. By this arrangement of the armatures and fields, it is stated, the current generated will drive the motor, which in turn will mechanically drive the dynamo. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the armature a of the motor A is connected through gear-wheels to the armature c of the dynamo C, or the two armatures may be upon the same shaft. The accumulators D are connected with both motor and dynamo by means of the leads d, d' through the necessary switches. Two sets of accumulators D', D' may be used, one driving the motor while the other is being charged by the dynamo driven by the motor. In this arrangement, the armatures a, c may be actuated by mechanical means so that one armature is partly drawn out of the field while the other is pushed within, enabling the machines to serve alternately as motor and dynamo and to increase or decrease the currents through the armatures. The shaft of the dynamo may be provided with a belt-driven pulley whereby the machines may be caused to rotate by an external agency, and the dynamo and motor may be connected by a clutch or by a variable gear. In vehicles, the road wheels may be used to drive the dynamo. Once the dynamo is at full speed, the external power may be taken off, when, it is stated, the dynamo will drive the motor and the motor the dynamo, while part of the current generated by the dynamo can be used externally. A number of motors and dynamos may be employed in combination in this way.
